Re: Please try this: OpenSSH 2.9p1 ssh hanging

["Karl M" <karlm30 at hotmail dot com>]

Hi All...

An even smaller test case...please try this with OpenSSh-2.9p1-1

ssh -f localhost sleep 30

and then do

ps -e

and see if the ssh process terminates when the sleep process does. You can 
try it with OpenSSH-2.5.2p2-3 also.

I believe it is only ssh (not sshd). So...you don't have to install the 
package, just extract the ssh.exe from the distribution and try it from 
whatever directory you are in (./ssh...).

Thanks for the help.

Corinna...I tried the patches from the OpenSSH mailing list, but they did 
not fix it either. Do you have any other ideas?
